Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Outstanding from Start to Finish
Before the day: Excellent 30 min consultation with Dr. Roy. He went through all my questions and made me feel at ease. Jill, who I spoke to about scheduling and billing was also a pleasure to talk to.
Day of: Despite an early 7:15 AM reporting time, Dr. Roy was already waiting for me when I arrived. As were the technicians for the procedure, a wonderful mother-daughter duo from Los Angeles. Dr. Roy administered my medications and was clear about what to expect the rest of the day. The technician team were personable, professional, and clearly very experienced. Dr. Roy showed me the hairline we were going for and both me and the technicians agreed it looked realistic and achievable. Then I got comfy for the procedure, which started off with some admittedly painful (but not unbearable) numbing shots. Then my memory is hazy. At some point I listened to nearly 4 hours of an audio book, yet I remember almost nothing from it. I had a delicious lunch (courtesy of Dr. Roy's office), briefly met Dr. Swengel (seemed like a great guy) and woke up when we were down to the last few hundred grafts (3,200 total). No pain at this point, but some light-hearted conversation with the technicians as they wrapped up the procedure, with Dr. Roy checking in a couple times in between. It was around 4 when we finished but the time flew by. I was stunned when Dr. Roy showed me the work that had been done in just a few short hours.
Post-op: Post-op has proceeded more or less exactly as described in the literature Dr. Roy emailed beforehand. I took one day off after the procedure but was able to return to work comfortably the second day after. I worked from home the first day back and avoided the camera, but the second day back, I turned on the camera. And after the weekend, it felt comfortable taking in-person meetings with a loose-fitting hat. There was some residual pain, but easily managed with Tylenol and, for the few days, a mild dose of hydrocodone. The photo taken is from 1 week post-op. Looking forward to seeing the results over the next 6-12 months!
